Hotels .com sucks

I was in a Bind, because I accidentally. I booked a hotel at the airport 2 weeks in advance. Because hotels.com changed their policy of their default settings, and when you try to book a stay, they just decide to put whatever date in the future. They want, I'm assuming it's they know as a fact that A good percentage of people don't look at that. I've been using the app for years, and they changed it about a year ago, and they suck. I will never use that again, but the posh tail pelican, whatever it's called was great

The door was not looking good. It was a struggle trying to close the door, it’s cheap but don’t recommend this place it’s gone down hill. I liked it the other 2 times I’ve came but the place is gone downhill, the main lobby has mold and falling apart. Room was moldy too
